Batman, Volume 9: Bloom by Scott Snyder
3.0
Oh man. I've got a lot to say about this one.
While the Bloom story line dragged on a bit too long for me, I really enjoyed the Bruce subplot. I'm glad they didn't push him completely to the side. I was hesitant to see how they would handle Gordon as Bats and Bruce as just Bruce but I thought exploring Bruce without his trauma or memories of being Batman was excellent. It hit me deep in the feels which is why Bruce reverting back to Batman in these three issues gave me chills at points. I loved his confrontation with Alfred, the weird cloning thing he had set up, and the final return of Batman. I don't think anyone really thought Gordon was going to be Batman forever, and I was annoyed initially that they were pulling this shit just to add some drama to the title. However, the exploration into this new side of Bruce was the strongest part of both Superheavy titles.
I won't say much more than that. I'm ready for my version of Batman to come back. I just hope the new team doesn't screw him up.
